Jerad (at Centipede Press) sold a number of sets of the photographs separately. Each set contained the pictures that were used in the s/l edition. These sets of photographs are EXTREMELY scarce.

Love the Black House. One sold for $246.50 today. Not that I had money to bid, but that seems low.

That's a nice looking Remarque, John!
Nice. I wonder, though, how many of us would certify that sig as legit had it been on a trade HC on eBay. King's sig is getting a mite lazy/messy these days.Limitation page of my The Dark man limited:
Awesome remarque!!!
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
That's a brilliant remarque you have there John - I like it a lot !!!
We all float down here!
Perhaps I am daft, but what part does a Ferris wheel play in "The Dark Man"?
I don't think it plays a specific role. I saw The Dark Man as a tale of wandering. And I think its just another of the many things the Dark Man see's on his travels.
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
Where was the wheel in the story/poem?
Of course Randall Flagg travels, but "adding" him to "Joyland" is quite a bit of artistic license.
I don't remember it being in the poem, but I do believe there was a broken down carousel. So a ferris wheel isn't really a stretch IMHO.
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
I like it. It kind of reminds me of Joyland, and I REALLY enjoyed Joyland.

Excellent remarque, John. Like that a lot.
Awesome remarque, John!

If theres mention of a broken down carousel I missed it completely.
I do like the ominous look of Dark Man in that Remarque, tho.
Congratulations John

There is no mention of a carousel, a ferris wheel, or a partridge in a pear tree. It's a very "liberal" interpretation.If theres mention of a broken down carousel I missed it completely.
I do like the ominous look of Dark Man in that Remarque, tho.
Congratulations John
I'm sorry... I didn't mean a mention of it in the text...
I meant that several of the illustrations in the book have carnival related themes... for example if I am not mistaken I believe I saw a illustration with a broken down carousel.
To me it almost felt like the book was trying to give The Dark Man that carny kind of feel... the great wanderer.
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
Just a thought - but is it possible Glenn had a lapse and thought he was doing a Joyland remarque? He has done quite a few remarques just lately?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Not only is there a ferris wheel there is also a similar tent.
Perhaps not a lapse per se' but maybe Joyland has more lasting effect than the Dark Man poem so inspires him more.

Just got my package from Glenn. He was kind enough to let me send him an idea and then run with it. Here is what I sent him "As you know, the dark man is the precursor to the character Randall Flagg. You have done such an amazing job with poem I was thinking of exploring the character that emerges. At the rear of the book are two blank white canvases for you. I see them as a sort of collage (you have done some really cool ones over the years) of Flagg's appearances. as long as Grant in Australia is jealous!
I was seeing:
The Stand - the dark man overlooking Vegas and crucifixions, maybe even a mushroom cloud with the hand of God behind, like in the novel's finale
Eyes of the Dragon - the dark man shot in the eye with an arrow, beginning to melt, perhaps the young king/prince with his bow spent
The Gunslinger's opening line where the gunslinger is following the man in black across the desert, maybe in the foreground/background of the collage
Perhaps a railroad through it like from the poem itself, a dark man at the back of it ready to emerge as the characters
What do you think? Is this crazy? It's just the kind of homage I was envisioning given the seminal importance do the poem. B/W, Color, subtle color? I can leave up to your eye. Let me know what you think. You can tell me I'm being ridiculous if you want. I hope you're up for it."
My God, was he up for it! Enjoy!
